Talent Programs
Our ERGS are instrumental in helping to recruit and attract talent across all levels. Their commitment helps to develop and build diverse teams, and encourage engagement across the organization.
Pratt & Whitney strives to provide an environment where employees from all backgrounds are valued, respected and rewarded so they can achieve their highest potential personally and professionally. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide opportunities for employees to connect and engage in a safe, inclusive space and build community. All Pratt & Whitney employees are encouraged to explore our ERGs and join any and all that they feel passionate about, whether as a member with a shared affinity or as an ally or advocate.
Making an Impact
Employee Resource Groups at Pratt & Whitney have been growing rapidly in the last several years. In 2022, over 7,000 employees identified as Employee Resource Group members.
Our nine RTX Employee Resource Groups are…
- RTXAdapt (Disability)
- RTXAspires (Asian)
- RTXBXN (Black)
- RTXHola (Hispanic)
- RTXNXGen (Young Professionals)
- RTXPRIDE (LGBTQ)
- RTXRain (Indigenous)
- RTX4Vets (Veterans)
- RTXWISE (Women)
Rewarding Growth Opportunities
ERGs offer our employees the opportunity to get involved and develop new skills. ERG members frequently attend DE&I Conferences such as the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE) and Out and Equal (O&E).
Influencing Our Culture
We believe that creating technology that inspires and transforms the aviation industry requires expansive thinking and innovation – which in turn, requires a culture that is diverse, equitable and inclusive. ERGs are about coming together to learn from different perspectives and cultural backgrounds. We help solve the issues that are important to us – including education equity, social justice reform and economic equality.
What We Do Matters
Inclusive Culture
ERGs provide a place for employees to feel supported and understood. And to bring their knowledge and expertise to help shape the company culture.
Allyship
ERGs are an opportunity to find allyship and affinity. They offer employees the space to learn and share in an inclusive environment.
